The following conversation is a metaphor for my relationship with the opposite sex, and kind of for the human condition as I see it right now. In response to several inquiries, I will assure you: it is technically fictional.

Bekah: Hey.

Other: Hello? Is someone there?

Bekah: Yes. I'm standing right here.

Other: Oh, hi. Didn't see you there.

Bekah: So, how are you?

Other: Alright.

Bekah: (Waits for reciprocal "How are you." Doesn't receive it.) I see you're wearing a Bob Dylan T-shirt. That's awesome.

Other: What's awsome about it? I've never heard of him. I got it at Thrift City.

Bekah: Oh, so you're wearing it to be ironic?

Other: What's ironic?

Bekah: This conversation, in some ways. But anyway, I guess I should go to class now.

Other: You should get a flask?

Bekah: No, class.

Other: Oh, whatever. I like fruit sometimes.

Bekah: Class at the law school. I go to law school. What do you do?

Other: My mom says I don't eat healthy enough, but I tell her, "I eat bananas sometimes. With peanut butter." That's good shit. And bananas are a type of fruit.

Bekah: Yeah, my cleaning lady used to make me peanut butter and banana sandwiches when I was little. I love that memory.

Other: But about that flask, you should get it engraved with something cool.

Bekah: She usually made them for me when I was home sick from school. It's so interesting what memories stay with you. That was over 15 years ago.

Other: My brother has one that says "2 Cool 4 U." So you can't use that. It's taken.

Bekah: I wish I could stay home sick from law school.

Other: Once we got trashed outside of the Winn Dixie with that flask. Those were fun times.

Bekah: But I guess I'm in it for the long haul now. Which is why I have to go study.

Other: Study?

Bekah: Bye.

Other: Whatever, bitch.
